Knowledge should humble you

orang yang saya cintai now shares a lot of videos on his facebook, which is kind of rare as he seldom goes on facebook.
alhamdulillah the videos he shares are about Islam =)

this is one video he shared and to which i find interesting, is aboutthe importance of intellectual humility in Islam and its teachings.

as mentioned in the video, just because you googled the translation of hadith or because you speak the arab language, that does not mean you know what you're talking about.
and just because you can quote a line or two from the Quran, that does not mean you're any better than other muslims .

to all haters, you should take a few pointers from this video.
modesty is not only shown by what you wear and how you act.
but with your knowledge too.

it is our responsibility to berdakwah, but it is not necessary to debate.
so chill k?

yeah kinda true. i have a fren dat wants to debate all the time mcm dye betol sgt. I mean,we share infos but jgn sampai berlagak mcm you actually right all the time. If you know something,shares. And if kawan you cakap you actually wrong,try to accep it.

yeah that's true.sometimes people tend to use proof from al-quran and hadith as if they know what they are talking about.at the end they look like a fool bragging on a fact that they actually didn't master at all.so guys, dont use proof from those holy guidance kalo diri sendiri tak pernah nak amalkan apa yang disuruh.

salam Maria...sorry for that i prefer to appear to you as an anonymous as i am quite shy to the public... :) but i must ask, this thing kind of been bothering me for quite awhile... apart of me wanted to change to a better person... sometimes my heart tells me, "wear the hijab already! it's about time!" and sometimes i don't even feel like i'm ready.I was afraid that what if i decided to wear hijab one day, and what if.... I happen to not wear it again?... I'm afraid that im not fully ready... For now, im still trying to convince myself that God will open my heart to get close to Islam even more. that Allah would show me the way. So, what im trying to say is, i hope that you could share your hijab story. because trust me, you're one of the people whom inspired me.

in case you're wondering, no, there's nothing peliks about this blog. maybe a bit about the blogger, but that's for you to decide. and no, you don't have to tell me what you've decided. unless, you've decided to stay on and read on and on and on. then, well, thanks! oh, the name's Maria. Malaysian, young (at heart) and awesome by nature. bahahaa!
